Hi Anne,
There is a physician feedback survey in the AMA Health Literacy Introductory Kit  which has been used in focus groups and workshops that addresses physician's perceptions about health literacy, where in their practice, what barriers, what approaches may be helpful, what resources they use. If you would like more information about it or other aspects of the project, please contact me.

Thank you to everyone who has already given me advice on teaching health
literacy
to physicians.

As part of the project I am developing, I want to do a
preliminary needs assessment both with the medical residents and their patients.
While I know about tools to measure health literacy, I am not familiar with any
tools to measure physicians' perceptions about the health literacy of specific
patients.

Does anyone have any experience with/knowledge about this aspect of it?


Thank you so much -
Anne Pemberton
